Artists for generations have painted what we are living,
still life.
They found items still so fascinating, they mixed colors and canvas. So does God. He created us to be still and know that He is He. Does stillness feel like art?
I have a feeling He is looking at us still and finding beauty. We are getting back to the basics. We are caring for things and people in new and deep ways. We are praying long and hard.
And I am convinced in those moments, he looks at the museum of our lives and finds beauty. He looks for our stillness and shuns striving. Rather, He looks inside the stillness for the reflection of Him.
That is our role right now. To reflect Him.
To be hope in despair.
To be light in darkness.
To be beauty in ugly.
To be love in hate.
To be calm in chaos.
We are not alone in our stillness; we are sheltered in Him. We are fearless with Him. We are inspired by Him.
